The clay surface of Rogers Dry Lake at Edwards AFB has minimized damage and loss for many aircrews in trouble with malfunctioning aircraft.
This fascinating Air Force footage shows a B-1B Lancer from Dyess AFB, Texas, that diverted to Edwards to land on the huge lakebed with its nose gear unextended, on 4 October 1989.

The B-1 is an amazing aircraft. That was a beautiful approach and landing with nice aero-braking and wings level rock solid.
The B-1 isn't the most spacious cockpit for a bomber having gotten to sit in the nav seat at a static display show. Looks like the crew went out the top bomb-nav's escape hatch.
I would call that a perfectly executed emergency landing, not a "crash landing". Crew walked away and minimal damage to the aircraft.
Excellent pilot
Excellent landing no one injured and no fire. The best trained military in the world. Bless them all.
